Re: Sooo, Whats the most beautiful car EVER made
The Lamborghini Miura is one gorgeous car. The Spyker is also one of my favorites.
So does the Maserati Gran-Turismo & the Porsche Carrera GT.
BUT, my all time favorite, the only one to leave me speechless when it passed my on the Italian autostrada..
Is the Zonda F Roadster. Absolutely amazing.

1/18 or smaller Dr. Phil? What is your preferred manufacturer of Diecast? I have a few Autoart ones that my P-car dealer gave me - very nice pieces
Mogle, I am far from a connaisseur in this field, and I basically collect them to have reference material for a series of automotive artprints that I am working on.
Biut it's hard to just stick to what I need for reference when there are so many beautiful diecast models! ARGH!
I have taken only 1:18 since they provide the best details at the lowest price, but if I could afford to I would get them all in 1:12 from the Tamiya series.
Just saw a Carrera GT, a Ferrari GTO 1984 and an Enzo at the local scale model pusher. WOW! The details are stunning.
Check this out:

Naturally I want this on my office shelf, only I dont wanna pay the 700$ my local dealer wants, so I am looking to get it from the US or via the local wholesaler.
You have any idea where I can get reasonably priced 1:18 models of the 550 and the 1962 904 GTS?
Re: Sooo, Whats the most beautiful car EVER made
And forgot to answer your question: No particular producer. I pretty much pick the ones that look nice, and since most manufacturers have different lines with different levels of detail, I just go for the ones that look nice at a fair price.

Re: Sooo, Whats the most beautiful car EVER made
I agree about the Maserati A6G. I have a soft spot for Zagato bodied cars. But my personal all-time favorite is the Ferrari 250 GT Zagato. I'm including a pic.
Other cars that rank very high with me are (in no consecutive order):
- Alfa Romeo 8C
- Alfa Romeo Gulietta Spider
- Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
- BMW 507 with body by Michelotti (not the production one that was designed by Albrecht Goertz).
- Citroën SM
- Lancia Flaminia 2500 Sport Zagato
- Mercedes SL Pagode
- Peugeot 504 Coupe
